There is also a redemption period where the owner/previous owner has the right to pay back taxes plus penalties, fees and interest within a certain time period which varies by state/county.I think there is money to be made but here are some problems I see:1.

@Darla NunesYou've been through a lot, so do yourself a favor and seek competent legal counsel as an attorney is the only person who can help you at this point.

I am seeking wisdom and some advice from those that have experiences with turnover costs.

I am currently living rent free until the end of this year and I am seeking advice on a back up plan in case my original one doesn't unfold like I want it to.

Since I invest my family's funds, which are limited, my goal is to always seek higher yields with calculated or lower risk.  

So I do not actively seek these out but they do fall in my lap from time to time.These are not wholesalers controlling a property contacting me.

Be sure you understand (seek legal advice) on what constitutes an “independent contractor” relationship.

A processing fee to equal to the total fine (including fees, penalties and any other charges) will also be taken out to compensate the landlord for handling.Keys, Garage/Gate Remotes: If Tenants or their guests break, lose, damage, or lock themselves out pertaining to keys, garage or gate remotes than the tenants are responsible for any cost replacement, locksmith or other cost to rectify the situation.

Should I send the tenants a letter telling them to seek out the previous owner for their deposits?

Tenant will prove dirty apartment at move in with pictures ,call the tenant apologize for the misunderstanding, return the money and move on; Tenant  will most likely win in court and you will most likely pay deposit plus penalties x3, plus your lawyer's inflated fees good luck
